| John Holland secures Royal Hobart Hospital redevelopment project Australian construction and engineering contractor John Holland, a wholly owned subsidiary of Leighton Holdings, has been awarded the contract to deliver the $365 million Royal Hobart Hospital redevelopment project by the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). John Holland will deliver the project under a Managing Contractor (MC) relationship model in joint venture with Fairbrother. The redevelopment of the hospital is a complex project which will be delivered in a brownfields environment across two separable portions including construction over an operating facility. The scope of the project includes construction of a new building of two towers and ten storeys to accommodate operating theatres, women's clinics, endoscopy, paediatrics, maternity and mental health functions together with the refurbishment of existing clinical areas and site wide infrastructure upgrades. Stage 1 of the MC's services (completion of the Detailed Design and establishment of the GCS) is scheduled to commence later this month and Stage 2 construction works are scheduled for completion in June 2017. write your comments about the article :: © 2013 Construction News :: home page |
